Headed to San Antonio this weekend? See which I-35 lanes will close

All main lanes of Interstate Highway 35 will close between Rittiman Road and George Beach in San Antonio starting Friday night, officials said.

The roads will close at 9 p.m. Friday and reopen at 5 a.m. Monday.

The closure will allow crews to continue work on an ongoing expansion of Interstate Highway 35 between George Beach and Randolph Boulevard. The $74.5 million project will add a lane in each direction of I-35 and rearrange a number of entrance and exit ramps, officials said.

Work is scheduled to wrap up by the end of 2017.

The highway will reopen briefly Saturday between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. to accommodate traffic headed to the San Antonio Spurs’ home game against the Los Angeles Clippers, according to a Texas Department of Transportation news release.

The closure area is near mile marker 164 near San Antonio Military Medical Center just northeast of downtown San Antonio. Southbound traffic will exit George Beach, follow the frontage road and re-enter the highway.
